llvm dev - Mar 2016 - PATCH: clang/LLVM - Sparc - inline ASM with floating pointer registers

Hi lists,

Sorry for cross-posting, but these two patches are of concern to clang
and llvm.

I'm compiling C-code which includes inline assembler which looks like
the following using the sparc-target:

static inline float fabsf(float a)
{
  float res;
  __asm __volatile__("fabss  %1, %0;"
                     : "=f"(res)
                     : "f"(a));
  return res;
}

This fails with llvm/clang - trunk/master.

I patched clang and llvm and, as I'm new to both project, I'm having
doubts that it is enough - however it works.

What would be necessary to have it included in both projects?
Is my code correct for what I want to do?
What would have been a more appropriate process to submit?

best regards,
--
Patrick.

Hi Patrick,

I do not see a problem with those patches --- apart from missing tests ;)

Cheers,
Arnaud

Your change looks almost correct.

You need:
- Test cases.
- Add the new 'f' type to the documentation in LangRef.rst.
- Check the type of the arg (f32, f64, or f128) to choose the right one of
FPRegsRegClass, DFPRegsRegClass, QFPRegsRegClass.

Then, please submit for review, per
http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html
(Typically best to do so via Phabricator,
http://llvm.org/docs/Phabricator.html)
